Please Read it through) ***NOW! It's done... I'm sure there will be things on these lists that you may not like or use. You have to remember that this is not set in stone. It is meant to be a guide to kick start your thinking processes so that you can see how much easier it is to stock up if you just have a plan! If you do and will utilize everything on these lists, good for you! The only things you have to do now is print & go shopping! Another thing you need to understand is that there is no way I can tell you how many people this will feed or for how long. This is so subjective it can't be calculated. What I can tell you is how it would work for my family but you need to know that I can make an excellent meal out of what others think is an empty pantry. When I look at this list I see; 110 lbs. of beans = 110 meals 22 cans of spaghetti sauce = 33 meals 12 cans of condensed cream soups= 12 meals (when combined w/ 1 pint canned hamburger or 1 canned ham or 2 cans tuna or 1 pint canned chicken 40 lbs rice = 60 meals (when combined w/ canned chicken or made into sweet rice or served w/ 1 pint canned hamburger & gravy from gravy mix 60 lbs chicken (total)=60 pints or 30 quarts of chicken for soup, chicken pot pie, etc., and 30 pints minimum of chicken broth. (Home canned) 24 cans of mushrooms = 12 for combining w/ other meals and 12 for soup 5 pints of stew beef - home canned = 5 meals when combined w/ veggies or noodles or both Without breaking down the entire list, I've just named 292 meals for my family of 3 or 6, depending on who is here. Yes, I can use other stuff on the list to stretch and feed twice as many. It's all just a matter of using veggies, pasta, biscuits, bread and desserts to fill out the meal. If you have a garden, that's even better. *note from Nana: I edited this post because I left 2 weeks out of the original plan. When I put them in, it changed the totals. Sorry.
  6. I love your site! I'm going to have to start making soap again. I love your recipes. They are super easy. I'm glad you decided to join us.
  7. I'm sorry, but I just could not take Lucifer's Hammer. It was extreamly slow. Then...well the other part..gross. Other than that it might have been an o.k book. Now, Alas Babylon. I have read it 3 times and I could read it over and over. I love that book. Nothing gross. And my husband actually learned something from that book. Makes me love it even more!

  14. I don't eat lintels either but I store them.
  15. Are you going to put oysters in yours? ACK!!!!!
  16. Instead of cornbead just use homemade bread. 1 - 2 loaves cut into chunks, then toasted in the oven. Then resume the recipe. Here is a recipe, you can use white bread also. Sage and Herb Whole Wheat Stuffing Makes 12 Servings Ingredients 12 slices stale whole wheat bread 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 cup finely chopped celery (include leaves) 1 tsp dried sage 3/4 tsp dried thyme 3/4 tsp dried marjoram 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 2 egg, lightly beaten (optional) 2/3 cup chicken broth Take 8 of the 12 slices of bread and tear them into small pieces. Place the pieces in a food processor or blender and process into coarse crumbs. Measure the crumbs. There should be 4 cups. (Adjust the amount if necessary.) Place the bread crumbs and cubes in a large bowl, and add all of the remaining ingredients except for the chicken broth. Toss to mix well. Slowly add the broth as you continue tossing. Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. loosely spoon the stuffing into the dish, and bake uncovered at 325 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until heated through and lightly browned on top. Serve hot
  17. Here's mine & unikemom's recipe. Bread Dressing link (edited by Cat to shorten link)
  18. Do some reading on it and if you have any questions, ask away.
  19. Butter, get you get to make any soap?
  20. Quote: If you make lye soap, make sure you let it set and cure for a few weeks before you use it. Otherwise it is very strong and will irritate your skin. You need to wait four weeks. You can go ahead and wrap it before then but don't use it.
  21. If you can find Red Devil Lye in your area, stock up on some. Some walmarts and hardware stores are now carring a drain opener called Crystal Drain Opener. As long as it contains 100% Sodium Hydroxide you can use it. I havn't been out to look for any lately, but if I can't find any I will have to order some sodium hydroxide. If you need some links let me know.
  22. Quote: This sound like so much fun and I would love to try- but I have a question, Have any of you ever tried to figure out an aproximate cost per bar? Does it save any money to make your own soap -or is it just for the joy of doing? I don't make it to sell. I like making it. It's fun. I don't know if it saves money either, but it also gives me the knowledge of knowing how to make it. Spider, go make some soap, so you know how!
  23. Quote: Yeah Lard is all I have..... Guess I could skip the FO... OK oh experienced one...... I know I should just try this on my own... But where do I start? I know you have posted many links on the subject but I wanna know what YOU do.. Here is a recipe Basic Hand Soap 1/2 oz or 14gm lye 1/4 cup cold water 1/2 cup lukewarm fat 1 T. lemon juice (optional) In a plastic container, gently stir lye into cold water with wooden spoon. Slowly add lukewarm fat. Continue to stir until slightly thickened. Add lemon juice, stirring to mix thoroughly. Pour mixture into plastic molds. Cover with plastic wrap and leave for 24 hours. Remove soap from molds and allow to air-dry for 14 days. Yield: 1 - 2 medium bars. Go to this site and read. http://waltonfeed.com/old/soaphome.html Here is a site with tons of info. Go to this site. http://millersoap.com/ I would add the scent. Add it right before you add it to the mold. I would add...this is a small batch...1/4 tsp.
